Five of the six works in this collection previously
appeared on a Music & Arts CD. In his review of that set, George S.T. Chu
wrote in HPR, "It's not often that you are faced by true greatness as you
listen to a compact disc. Often you're transfixed by the music or transported
by the harmonics that express something inexplicable about life itself ­
but only rarely do you hear a musical spirit in performance that both humbles
you by its majesty as well as inspires you by its greatness. Such was my
experience in listening to these five violin concertos as recorded by Jasha
Heifetz."

Reviewing the same set in Fanfare, David K.
Nelson wrote, "In general the reason for enjoying this set is to marvel
at the fluency, the tonal beauty, the convincing musicality, and the incredible
command of this masterful artist ­ and to marvel further that really there
was nothing 'special' about these broadcasts: this incredible level of attainment
was simply Heifetz's day-in, day-out personal standard, and that, indeed,
may be the most astonishing thing of all about Jascha Heifetz. This set
can be recommended as an interesting complement and supplement to the commercial
Heifetz recordings of these works." (DRA)
